epigraph
“She belongs to the future
To the winds of the west sea
And the candles in the hallway
She dances wildly with the spiders
Sings with the turn of the stars
And cries amongst the earthquakes
And ghostly thunderstorms
Like those that sneak away in the night
She belongs to the fire
To the silver and mist in the woods
To the snow and the silence
But not to me.”

dedication
To Kayla,
who taught me how to
love the air in my lungs
the sun on my skin
and the creation around me
And to Her,
who taught me what
love is
and how seconds can feel
eternal
and how
little
time
we
have
can I kiss you?
Yeah, tonight was great
wish we had more time
you know?
I’m free Saturday
yeah, four o’clock is perfect
Wait, one more thing
that electricity when we
first met
that was thrilling
and I wonder if you felt it too
That’s all, I guess
Wait, one more thing!
I also love the way you try to translate
to words the passion you feel for the
things you enjoy
just needed to tell you that
Wait, one more thing
whenever we’re walking away
from each other, I get this
insane urge to look back
and hold you in my gaze for
as long as possible
sorry for all these stupid things I say…
Wait
one more thing
I wish
I wish I could say everything that
came to mind when I see you
and I wish I had
the courage to just say it
And I wish I could
put to words the
feelings you give me
but even then, you
wouldn’t have the time to
read it
So that you'd know
how I love the
way you smile at me
and I love how I
catch you staring at me
for a second too long
And I love how you will
bashfully turn away
and I wish I could hold
your hand and kiss it, too
and tell you that you’re why
I listen to music again
And we will breathe each
other in
and know the other’s skin
and learn everything we can
from the conversations in the sand
And that I have to
write in bed because this
is where I dream
and that you are my last
thought as I’m about to
dream
and how I can’t wait to
wake up to see the real
thing
And I wish I could say
everything that came to
mind when I see you
and I wish I had
the courage to say it
so at least I wrote some of
them down
and hope you read it
